CVS doesn't like symbolic links in the path to the repository. If your
system supports "loopback" mounts, you can use that instead of a
symbolic link. If not, you need to use the real path to the repository
in your CVSROOT rather than a path containing a symlink. Or learn to
live with the things that don't work.
